Lowering
Into a CrevasseBase H - Signy Island Antarctica

This was crevasse rescue techniques or practising
going down into a crevasse and out again in case you or someone you were
with fell down one. All very exciting when it's slow and controlled, but
looking at the lumps of ice that are sticking out in all directions, a journey
into one "in anger" unless quickly arrested wouldn't be such fun.

This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web.
